[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As we start thinking about fall tryouts, would love to hear from others regarding recent experience with ODP. Thanks.[/quote]

If you're in Maryland -

Pros: It's good training, a good way for your kid to meet kids from other clubs and work with coaches outside their own clubs, and the trips (with WorldStrides) are really well done (I'd say they were a highlight, but of course the cost is not included).

Cons: Practice involves a lot of driving, if your kid does not make the first team you can expect them to be largely ignored and not given as many chances during the tournaments, and (at least on the girls' side) the Maryland teams tend to get creamed at regionals because other (larger) states have much more selective teams.  ID camp selections are a total scam.

In short, it was good for our DC to get some looks and feedback while they weren't on a top club team.  I think the training helped them make a better club team.  Now that they've made it, I don't see a need for them to do it anymore.[/quote]
